Method 1

Try to use a version of mail command supporting -a (attachment) switch . It’s the more reliable solution.

s-nail have it !

<a href="https://getridbug.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b2d7dfd3dbde8fd4ddddf2d0d3c1d7">[email protected]</a>

mail -v -s subject <a href="https://getridbug.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="4f2920200f2d2e3d">[email protected]</a> -a file.txt -q - <<EOF 
$(awk '
    BEGIN{print "<table>"}
    {
        print "<tr><tr>";
        for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) {
            print "<td><td>" $i"</td></td>";
            print  "</tr></tr>";
        }
    }
    END{print "</table>"}' input1.txt
)

.
EOF

Check man mail if you need to add headers and such

Method 2

Using sendmail:

TO_ADDRESS="<a href="https://getridbug.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6b0a09082b0e130a061b070e45080406">[email protected]</a>"
SUBJECT="Test Mail"

cat << --OEF--
